I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

Yes I'm fully aware of that. I think you know what I was referring too. We all have our own opinions about trump. I just want to know the facts.

It's my first time in this group so I don't know what kind of crowd this is but I know if I look it up myself the story is going to be slanted one way or another.

I just want to know why taking Greenland, or Canada, or taking back the Panama canal is a thing I'm seeing at all on feed. Is this a real thing, a quote taken out of context, like what's going on right now.

He wants these regions for the future where the polar ice caps melt, as they canada, Greenland and Panama will be/are major shipping routes. He's serious. You can't take it out of context. He wants these areas for greed.
